High Line
The High Line was constructed in the ’30s to get dangerous freight trains off the streets of Manhattan. Planned for demolition, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg approved a proposal that would transform the train line into a popular public park.
Financed with private funds, what was once an ear- and eye-sore has become a unique green space designed by landscape architects James Corner Field Operations and Diller Scofidio + Renfro. When all sections are complete, the High Line will wind along for a mile-and-a-half through the West Side neighborhoods of the Meatpacking District, West Chelsea, and Clinton/Hell’s Kitchen.

Lake Fausse Pointe State Park is in the middle of nowhere. Which is exactly why it’s worth the trek to this 6,000-acre site. From canoeing and biking to the Atchafalaya Basin and nearby historic areas, this is the epitome of South Louisiana diversity.
